Ludwig von Beethoven's letter to his Immortal Beloved was the first piece of the "Confidently Lost" collection. As I am a hopeless romantic, I express my life artistically as passionately as I live it. This letter was only one of the letters written by Beethoven to the mysterious woman know as his Immortal Beloved. Unrequited love has affected us all at some point in life so Beethoven's words resonate to every passionate heart. Each word was written by my hand.

The Letters

Beethoven & His Immortal Beloved

7 July

Dear Immortal Beloved,

Even in bed my ideas yearn towards you,

my Immortal Beloved, here and there joyfully,

then again sadly, awaiting from Fate,

“whether it will listen to us. I can only live,

either altogether with you or not at all. Yes,

I have determined to wander about for so

long far away, until I can fly into your arms

and call myself quite at home with you, can

send my soul enveloped by yours into the

realm of spirits – yes, I regret, it must be.

You will get over it all the more as you know

my faithfulness to you; never another one

can own my heart, never – never!

O God, why must one go away from what

one loves so, and yet my life in W. as it is

now is a miserable life. Your love made me

the happiest and unhappiest at the same time.

At my actual age I should need some continuity,

sameness of life – can that exist under our circumstances?

Angel, I just hear that the

post goes out every day – and must close

therefore, so that you get the L. at once.

Be calm – love me – today – yesterday.

What longing in tears for you –

You – my Life – my All – farewell.

Oh, go on loving me – never doubt the

faithfullest heart of your beloved

Ludwig von Beethoven

Ever thine.

Ever mine.

Ever ours.

Napoleon & Josephine

Verona, 13 November 1796

I do not love thee any more;

on the contrary, I detest thee.

Thou art horrid, very awkward, very stupid,

a very Cinderella. Thou dost not write me at all,

thou dost not love thy husband; thou knowest

the pleasure that thy letters afford him,

and thou dost not write him

six lines of even haphazard scribble.

What do you do then all day, Madame?

What matter of such importance is it that takes

up your time from writing to your very good lover?

What affection stifles and pushes on one side

the love, the tender and constant love,

which you have promised him?

Who can be this marvellous,

this new lover who absorbs all your instants,

tyrannises your entire days, and prevents you

from being solicitous about “your husband?

Josephine, beware, one fine night the doors

will break open and I will be there.

In truth, I am anxious, my good amie,

at not receiving your news;

write me quickly four pages,

and say those amiable things which fill

my heart with sentiment and pleasure.

I hope before long to press you in my arms

and shall shower on you

a million burning kisses

as under the Equator.

Bonaparte

Lord Byron & Countess Guiccioli

25 August 1819

My dearest Teresa,

– I have read this book in your garden.

My love, you were absent, or else I could not

have read it. It is a favourite book of yours,

and the writer was a favourite friend of mine.

You will not understand these English words,

and others will not understand them . . .

which is the reason I have not scrawled them in

Italian.

But you will recognise the handwriting of him who

passionately loved you, and you will divine that,

over a book which was yours,

he could only think of love.

In that word, beautiful in all languages,

but most in yours – amor mio –

is comprised my existence here and hereafter.

I feel I exist here; and I feel I shall exist hereafter,

to what purpose you will decide;

my destiny rests with you, and you are a woman,

seventeen years of age, and two out of a convent,

I wish you had stayed there, with all my heart,

or at least, that I had never met you in your married state.

But all this is too late, I love you, and you love me –

at least you say so, and act, as if you did so,

which last is a great consolation at all events.

But I more than love you and cannot cease to love you.

Think of me sometimes,

when the Alps and ocean divide us,

but they never will, unless you wish it.

Byron
